To sum up, if you are outraged or angry over this ad for a sugar water that is sold around the world, and is practically an ambassador for America itself, then be advised that you are a horrible and awful person, and I implore you to get help.

I am quite sure there may some who appreciated the commercial, but Coca Cola missed the mark in my opinion. If we cannot be proud enough as a country to sing “American the Beautiful” in English in a commercial during the Super Bowl, by a company as American as they come — doggone we are on the road to perdition. This was a truly disturbing commercial for me, what say you?

Right you are. And you don’t need to be living abroad to suffer from depleted uranium–ask a vet. But Coca Cola is an enormous international corporation–kind of like British opium in the nineteenth century.

Your ending of “make my heart sad” defines you, gay person, and makes me want to vomit. America was built by workers and patriots–not people sticking their dingo up another’s butt. Russia has the right idea.

Damn foreigners, drinkin all our coke, breathin all our air, and singin all our songs. Time to send em all back starting with those indians that snuck in here while the white man was making the world safe for all white men.

I agree with what you wrote on Twitter but didn’t want to blow up your feed so I will respond here. I also had a parent(I know you had two) come from a foreign country. My father came here from Kuwait(he himself being from Palestine) to go to school in 79. He met my mother, they moved to Kuwait until 85. While there they had me. He earned his citizenship here, taking a test that I am almost certain many that hated that commercial would have a hard time knowing every question(he knew everyone).
He volunteers in the community often and is the type of guy that would help a stranger on the side of the road with car issues.
I guess the point is, I can’t stand ignorance and bigotry. There are plenty of people I know that don’t realize how “new” my family is to this country when they say things sometimes. Our country was built with new families coming here. Just because they are “foreign” doesn’t mean they came here illegally or with ill intentions(you know because we are Palestinians). Yes he knows 3 languages fluently and has a thick accent but that doesn’t make him a bad person. he just makes him more tolerant of other people’s differences.
Sorry for the ramble. For the record I prefer Pepsi.

Gotta love all the Polish, German and other non-anglo descended folk at my office today talking about how offensive this ad was since they dared to speak a different language…like, well, their grandparents did.

Brings up a strong desire in me to quote what Don Rickles said best in Dirty Work: “Why don’t you get a horse, live in the mountains and stop bothering people”
